Java ArrayList Index

You have ArrayList all wrong,

• You can’t have an integer array and assign a string value.
• You cannot do a add() method in an array

Rather do this:

List<String> alist = new ArrayList<String>();
alist.add("apple");
alist.add("banana");
alist.add("orange");

String value = alist.get(1); //returns the 2nd item from list, in this case "banana"

Indexing is counted from 0 to N-1 where N is size() of list.
